Does it always need to be passed as TRUE ?
TRUE is only needed if the object may not be moved after you've got a handle for it. With the current GC it doesn't matter, but this may change in the future. > 2) I also have a call a method on this object handle periodically.

In general, if an API needs some kind of freeing, it will be documented. MonoMethods do not need to be freed.
